UNSPSC 50455404: Frozen organic white acre peas

The variety of organic peas known as organic white acre peas that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50455404 Frozen organic white acre peas is a Commodity code that names a specific frozen vegetable product, but state and local procurement activity under this code centers on much broader food-service procurement — school nutrition programs, institutional food supply, and general procurement of frozen and fresh food products for public agencies. The recent opportunities show school districts and state agencies soliciting frozen foods, fresh produce, grocery staples, and dairy items as part of comprehensive food-service contracts that may include frozen peas as one line item among hundreds. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System) supported by state agencies (State of Georgia) and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative spanning 30 Georgia school districts). The procurement pattern reflects ongoing institutional food service for student meal programs, with districts soliciting line-by-line bids or RFPs for entire food catalogs that span proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and frozen items delivered to multiple school sites under annual contracts with renewal options.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with additional Missouri procurement. Representative opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid (RFP, responses due June 8, 2026) for 300+ food items across meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and grains for three schools; the City Schools of Decatur's Frozen Foods and Grocery IFB (responses due May 15, 2026) for the School Nutrition Program across ten school sites with whole-grain, low-sodium, and zero-trans-fat specifications; the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 (responses due March 4, 2026) procuring fresh produce and eggs for 30 districts through the GEC Buying Cooperative with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million across two geographic areas; and the Dallas Independent School District's RFP (responses due April 2, 2026) for various food products including spice and ice cream lots for the 2026-2027 school year. Delivery requirements are consistent across solicitations — Monday through Friday daytime windows, temperature control, proper palletization, full truckload minimums in some cases, and pricing that includes all transportation and packing with no fuel surcharges. All districts emphasize Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, food recall procedures, general liability insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000 coverage), and E-Verify authorization.
